The Best of Northern Ireland
Causeway coast, castles, loughs and the Mourne Mountains
Northern Ireland packs remarkable variety into a small country: the basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway, the clifftop ruin of Dunluce Castle, the swaying rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede, the beech tunnel of the Dark Hedges, and the granite Mourne Mountains. Add the Norman keep at Carrickfergus, the round tower on Devenish Island in Lough Erne, and the cities of Belfast and Derry, and you have a tour that crosses the Causeway Coast, County Antrim, Fermanagh’s lakeland and Northern Ireland’s two largest loughs — Neagh and Erne.
